Ov-ral Imperial IPA, Mikkeller To Øl Collaboration |
10.5% abv. Pours a brilliant orange color with a wispy white head. Somewhat original aroma has a nice combination of caramel malt, banana, and pine. Super smooth mouthfeel with solid carbonation. Strong hops jump right out at you, followed by a sweet bready, dried fruit, caramel malt, and then a tinge of peppery alcohol esters. The wild yeast definitely give is a little bit of a funk as well. Gets a bit astringent toward the end, but not in a bad way. Some warming in the belly halfway through the glass. For some reason I find it somewhat somewhat reminiscent of Pliny the Elder, but much funkier.

Maybe it was meant to be hilarious - a beer so good you drink it the morning after as a penance to the bad beer decisions you made the night before? I got nothin'.
Top notch beer blog here guy, from one Boston blogger to another.
